the tweasels of the forest
The Tweasels of the forest
Are considerate and sweet,
But unless they're busy tweezing,
They feel somehow incomplete.

They walk and walk
around the woods,
Upon a constant quest
For shrubs and trees that need a tweeze–
It's tweezing they do best.

The Tweasels are well-meaning,
And they always try to please.
When anything needs tweezing,
They immediately tweeze.

They tweeze with great dexterity,
Facility, and flair–
As long as tweezing's called for,
All the Tweazels will be there.
